Historia
After selling his dorm-room startup for millions and effectively retiring at the age of 25, Alex Fife is eager for a new challenge. When he agrees to clean up an old PC as a favor, he never expects to find the adventure of a lifetime waiting for him inside the machine. But as he rummages through old emails, Alex stumbles upon a startling discovery: The previous owner, a shady antiques smuggler, had been trying to unload a mysterious object known as the Florentine on the black market.

Fun, engaging, and actually educational
Revisado: 04-15-16
If you could sum up The Florentine Deception in three words, what would they be?
It's a great read, and I think outside of the story telling it opens up eyes for the "average joe" by making concepts around computer security much more tangible.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Yes it did, though at times I felt that the main character was experiencing an unusual string of bad luck! What I really liked about these circumstances was the nice balance the main character used between clever solutions at times and just brute forcing (like in real life) at other times.
Which scene was your favorite?
It's a toss up between the panic room scene and the cave scene
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Probably the UCLA morgue scene
Any additional comments?
I think this book has an educational value to it, specifically for the average Joe. I'm in the tech industry and so suspect I was definitely taking a lot of the material understanding for granted, but my wife is not and as we both listened to the book I was mindful of how she would be able to absorb the concepts and appreciate them. She definitely learned a thing or two about security awareness, and that's a win for me!
